System vs Rebirth

"It's here." Stella smiled while pointing forward. "We've reached the border."

Even though Stella said so, Noel couldn't see any differences. They had been traveling on the plain for a while, so there wasn't any change in their surroundings.

Stella chuckled, seeing Noel's confusion. "I told you earlier, right? There aren't that many changes whether we're still in the human territory or not, except for more demons. We're barely crossing the border, so we won't find too many of them, but if we continue our way to that direction…"

Stella pointed at their left and continued, "You'll start finding more and more demons."

"Still, there would be many Low Level and Mid Level Demons, right?"

"Of course. Or how do you think they're found inside the kingdom? The border to the demon territory is vast, so it's impossible to block everything, especially since we're expanding continuously.

"And the stronger squads must have killed enough Low Level Demons for them to use and sell the rest for their pocket money. I mean, that's how you become rich in the first place." Stella smirked. "Even I have a quite amount of money."

"So, you have absorbed Low Level Crystals to the limit… How about the Mid Level Crystals?"

"Yeah. I've finished it as well. I'm working on the Advanced Level Crystals right now."

"I see." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "If that's the case, how do you usually split the crystals among all of you?"

"We usually gather the amount until everyone can get one each. So, if you have five crystals, you won't get the split for the time being until we get another crystal. If you have ten, everyone could get one and wait for another one after another two crystals."

"I see."
